Chapter 497: Chapter 487: Black Mountain Eagle King, Bane of the Snake Race?
The Black Mountain Eagle King felt deeply humiliated. This Snake Demon clearly reeked of alcohol, yet his body was harder than steel.
The Three-Race Warzone!
"Look, it’s Master! Master’s in danger," the Tree Spirit, who was sprinting at full speed, shrieked.
The Immortal Spirit Peacock Azure Owl had already seen it and said in a clear voice, "That scoundrel successfully ascended. Shouldn’t he be incredibly strong? How did he get caught so easily?"
"It looks like Master has been drinking, and he’s drunk."
"It’s Monkey Wine. I can smell its fragrance from a mile away," said the Bull Demon King from his perch in a tree, his eyes lighting up.
"Amitabha. Its fragrance carries for miles. Even the thick stench of blood in the air can’t mask its aroma. Truly a fine wine."
A dark expression crossed Tree Spirit Charlie’s face. "Is now really the time to be focused on the wine? Master is in danger! He’s going to die!"
The Bull Demon King stared intently into the distance. He had, after all, spent his fair share of time in the Yaoling Mountain Range. "So it’s the Black Mountain Eagle King," he said immediately. "He’s a big shot, and the fated nemesis of the Snake Race. No matter how powerful a snake, none can escape his deadly clutches."
"Then doesn’t that mean Master is doomed?"
"Not at all. Master is as resilient as a cockroach. If he really can’t handle it, he’ll definitely summon us."
The Bull Demon King had a point. No matter how powerful the Black Mountain Eagle King was, he was still only a Great Demon.
In truth, the other Battle Companions each had their own thoughts on the matter. They mainly wanted to see just how powerful Tu Xiao’an had become after his ascension.
"You insignificant snake, don’t get so arrogant! I am the nemesis of your Snake Race!" the Black Mountain Eagle King roared from atop the black clouds and dark winds. The great Eagle King, humiliated by a mere snake. For so many years, not a single snake he targeted had ever survived.
This Snake Demon who had passed the Seventy-Two Celestial Tribulations would be no exception.
The Black Mountain Eagle King’s massive head emerged from the black clouds, its sharp, giant beak snapping open.
WHOOSH...
Space suddenly trembled as a frigid black wind howled from its beak. The wind carried a dense Demon Qi, lashing out like a thousand blades. Its power was so immense it could slice solid rock to pieces.
Trapped in the giant claws, Tu Xiao’an’s hair whipped in the wind, and he sobered up slightly. The howling black wind felt dangerously aggressive; it could not be underestimated. His eyes narrowed, and a powerful Consciousness Power instantly formed an Energy Light Shield around him.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The black wind could slice through iron like mud, but it was useless against the Energy Light Shield. However, it did pulverize many of the surrounding rocks and trees, turning them to dust that vanished into the air.
When the black wind subsided, Tu Xiao’an was completely unharmed, but the cave dwelling below had vanished, clearly destroyed by the gale.
"What? He blocked that, too?" High in the sky, the Black Mountain Eagle stared at the glowing energy around Tu Xiao’an, completely stunned. "What a Snake Demon. I really did underestimate you. Don’t tell me you’re invulnerable?"
Much of Tu Xiao’an’s drunkenness faded, and his handsome face grew grim. "Little Black Mountain Eagle, is it? What did you say before? That you’re the nemesis of the Snake Race?"
"I am the Black Mountain Eagle King!" it practically roared. "And that’s right! The snakes that have died by my talons are countless, and you will be no exception!"
At these words, Tu Xiao’an smiled coldly, still dangling in midair from the giant claw. He glanced around. The entire Monkey Mountain valley was filled with unending roars. The air was thick with the smoke of battle, and rivers of blood flowed across the ground. He saw countless enormous rats, innumerable wild wolves, and powerful Spirit Monster Level monkeys.
He also saw the Ape King and the Bloodthirsty Wolf King locked in a ferocious battle that raged from the earth to the sky; they were fighting with true killing intent.
’How lively.’ Tu Xiao’an shook his head hard, about half of his drunkenness now gone. ’It looks like all of them are here to take my life.’
The Black Mountain Eagle King chimed in, "That’s right. Today, you snake are dead for sure. There is nowhere for you to run, not in the heavens above or the earth below."
"Annoying pest. Who the hell do you think you are?"
As Tu Xiao’an spoke, his entire body suddenly erupted in flame. The inferno burned furiously, containing a Celestial Might that threatened to incinerate everything.
The Black Mountain Eagle immediately felt a searing pain. Its giant claw loosened involuntarily, and it tried to pull it back.
"Hiding up there, are you? Get down here!"
Now free, a cold glint flashed in Tu Xiao’an’s eyes. He grabbed the giant claw and executed a shoulder throw. A Heaven-Shocking Power erupted from him, ripping the Black Mountain Eagle King right out of the black clouds and revealing its enormous body.
BOOM!
With that mid-air shoulder throw, he viciously slammed the Black Mountain Eagle King into the ground.
Its true form was revealed.
It was a being in a state of partial Transformation, with a human body and the face of an eagle. A pair of huge, powerful-looking black wings sprouted from its back.
It stood up to a height of over five meters. Its feet were still the exposed talons of an eagle.
’How is he so strong?’
The Black Mountain Eagle King, still dazed from the throw, staggered to its feet in disbelief. A shadow instantly appeared before it, and a cold voice commanded, "Ice Seal!"
"What?!"
The Black Mountain Eagle King froze. A deep chill enveloped its body, and in an instant, it was inexplicably turned into a five-meter-tall ice sculpture.
"Ever seen a fist the size of a sandbag?"
Tu Xiao’an threw a punch at the five-meter-tall ice sculpture. With a deafening roar like a sudden clap of thunder, a massive fist dozens of feet wide materialized out of thin air and smashed relentlessly into the ice sculpture.
CRACK!
The punch was so powerful the ice sculpture instantly shattered. The Black Mountain Eagle King was sent flying backward, blood spraying through the air, and crashed into the middle of the three-race warzone.
Dozens of wild wolves were crushed to death under the impact, becoming unfortunate casualties of the immense force.
’Cough, cough... Heavens, is this a Snake Demon that just ascended and underwent Transformation?’
The Black Mountain Eagle King’s internal organs were in turmoil; he was severely injured in an instant. A storm of shock raged within him. ’This is bad. This Snake Demon definitely has the combat prowess of a Demon King! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been so utterly helpless.’
’I’ve bitten off more than I can chew. I have to run!’
The Black Mountain Eagle King scrambled to its feet and spread its wings. But before it could take off, a hand seized one of its black wings. It looked up and was met with a sinister, smiling face.
"Now that you’re here, you think you can run? Just leave your life behind."
Tu Xiao’an was going to unleash a massacre today. Of all the Demons who had come to kill him, not a single one would live.
RIIIP!
"AARGH!"
The Black Mountain Eagle King let out a bloodcurdling scream as one of its wings was torn clean off by immense force, a gory, dripping mess.
The fear of death washed over it.
Just then, its other wing was grabbed. Tu Xiao’an’s gaze shifted to the distance as he bellowed, "My Three-headed Evil Snake, where are you?!"
"HISSS... Master, the Three Snakes are here!"
In the distant battlefield, an Evil Snake dozens of meters long roared toward the heavens. A terrifying aura unique to the Snake Race billowed out, blanketing the area. With three heads and six eyes, it was unstoppable, a true killing machine that had already devoured countless rats.
"Good! I’m rewarding you with this Eagle to eat."
Tu Xiao’an turned to the massive, multi-headed Evil Snake and forcefully threw the Black Mountain Eagle toward it.
The throw sent it soaring through the air in a wide arc. The Black Mountain Eagle, severely injured and missing a wing, was completely powerless to resist.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The three Snake Heads shot out, extending to an impossible length. Immeasurably ferocious, they couldn’t wait to sink their fangs into the Black Mountain Eagle King’s body in mid-air, immediately starting to tear it to pieces.
"No—"
The Black Mountain Eagle let out an earth-shattering scream, which was abruptly cut short. In mid-air, the three Snake Heads tore it into several pieces and devoured them ravenously.
And so, the great and famous Great Demon of the Yaoling Mountain Range, the nemesis of the Snake Race, was brutally devoured by a Three-headed Snake.
This cruel and bloody scene played out in the open for all to see. Countless Demons watched, their hearts pounding in terror. That was the Black Mountain Eagle King, a renowned Great Demon!
"Gods above, Master is on a rampage! We can’t just stand by and watch anymore."
The Bull Demon King shivered. A Great Demon of his stature had been killed so quickly and effortlessly, not even a complete corpse left behind.
Faintly, the Battle Companions could feel Tu Xiao’an’s killing intent from the depths of their very souls. It was an aura that felt as though it had been suppressed for a very long time, only to finally burst forth, completely unrestrained.
Today was destined to be a day of blood and death for Monkey Mountain. The blood of Demons would stain its soil red.
